I agree with you but it's also a sorta. They don't know if you've done any under the table work that you need to report. With that said, they definitely could just have you log in securely with all your info already inputed and just have you double check and sign with the option to add more if needed. That's how the Australians do it iirc, just log in, check and sign.

“Under the table” sort of implies you won’t be reporting it. They know about 1099 type stuff, as well as getting reports from your brokerage and everywhere else.

90% of Americans the only real question is if you updated your w-4 or not to reflect recent changes as well as relevant deductions which probably should just go away. (I mean, seriously. I drive to work just factor in the average and call it good- don’t make me track mileage.)

If they don't know, they don't need to know.

Just send me the bill/refund according to what you know, IRS.

I agree with you. Could be way easier for us if it wasn't for lobbying.
